Plot summary
Yuvraj Vijay Singh, the crown prince of Pritampur, is days from his coronation and is engaged to Rajkumari Maithili Devi of Devgarh, yet his stiff, stubborn manner has soured his dealings with her and with his siblings. Two half-sisters, Rajkumari Chandrika and Rajkumari Radhika, who live outside the palace, are suing him for part of the royal property, and his half-brother Yuvraj Ajay Singh has his eye on the crown. An attempt on Vijay's life leaves him badly hurt, and two doctors hide him in a secret chamber while he recovers. Prem Raghuvanshi, a stage performer known as Prem Dilwale, reaches Pritampur with his friend Kanhaiya hoping to meet Maithili. The palace security head Sanjay spots him at a bus stop and brings him to Diwan, who asks him to impersonate the prince.
